Two men died in a road collision in Co Fermanagh on Friday, the Police Service of Northern Ireland confirmed.

A Bus Éireann coach and a car were involved in the crash on the Derrylin Road near Enniskillen on Friday evening.

Chief inspector Celeste Simpson of the PSNI’s collision investigation unit said: “Shortly after 7pm we received a report of a collision involving a Ford Kuga and a bus on the Derrylin Road.

“Officers attended, alongside emergency service partners. However, the two occupants of the Kuga were pronounced deceased at the scene.
